From school until night, Rico did not say a word.
Several times Ratih provoked talks even though he only asked how he was, he was never touched at all.
Even at dinner, Rico remained silent, his face bent.
"What is the child, as usual, l" muttered Ratih.
Rico just kept quiet, his gaze turning to his papa, who was uncaring and cool to enjoy his dinner.
Rico was really upset with his dad, for refusing his request this morning.
Rico left the dining table without eating his food.
Ratih who saw Rico leaving turned to look at Rohan.
"What's wrong with Rico, this morning feeling is fine, do you know anything Rohan?
"Don't know ma, since he was picked up back from school, no talking about Rohan, his face was also bent."
"There must be a problem, there is no way Rico behaves like that." said Ratih.
Ratih hunted to finish his food, he was very worried to see the condition of his only grandson whom he loved.
After finishing eating and cleaning the dining table, Train rushed to Rico's room.
"May grandma come in?"Ratih knocked on Rico's half-opened bedroom door..
Rico looked at his grandmother who was standing at the door of the room as if waiting for his answer.
"Come on, grandma,!"
Step inside and sit next to Rico who sits on the floor with a soft fur carpet.
Ratih stroked Rico's shoulders gently, Trainily looking at his grandson's blank-looking gaze.
"There's Rico, did anyone bother you at school?"
Rico shook his head.
"Why did Rico keep quiet, so you've been talking since he got home from school?"
Rico looked at his grandmother, though,
"Rico is angry with papa!"
"Well angry papa, why?"
"Papa can't see Rico with Bu Anita,"
Ratih fell silent, "What did Papa say to Rico?'
"So this morning Rico said he wanted to see Ms. Anita, keep answering who was inter, papa was busy, that's the answer, if papa busy Rico can take a taxi or taxi, ojek, or,Rico has an address for Ms. Anita's house." said Rico somewhat emotionally.
" Just say no can, you need to use the reasons for everything,bikin sebel" said Rico ketus.
Ratih smiled, "If you don't want to send Rico, why don't you just talk to grandma." Ratih offered himself.
Hearing the words of Ratih, Rico raised his face that had been bowed.
"Is this really grandma,?"he half-believed.
'That's right, Grandma's lying."
"Grandma really want to accompany Rico?"
"Yes, grandma also wants to meet what kind of Bu Anita who has captivated the granddaughter's heart so that she ignores the grandmother." said Ratih deliberately with a sad tone.
" Who ignores grandma, Rico really loves grandma, wait!...would grandma scold Anita if you meet?"
Train stunned, so far the mind of Rico, his grandson was very afraid that he would scold Anita.
"No, baby, it's important Rico is happy." Ratih hugs the body of his granddaughter who must be the affection of a mother he never got since childhood
"Is grandma upset that Rico thinks of Bu Anita as Rico's mother?"
"No" replied Ratih.
"Rico actually wants Bu Anita to be Rico's mom, Grandma."
"Why didn't Rico ask Ms. Anita."
"But Rico was afraid that Miss Anita wouldn't."
Rico nodded happily, his eyes appearing to be twinkling.
"Rico, if Rico wants Anita's mom to be Rico's mom and live here, Anita's mom has to be your dad's wife."Ratih deliberately spoke so provoking Rico's reaction, he was also not too worried about talking that way, because Ratih knew his granddaughter had more mature thoughts than a child of her age,and know about the relationship between children and parents, between relatives between husband and wife, kinship, or lovers.
Rico smiled sumringah.
"Died grandma told papa to make Bu Anita papa's wife, will later become mama Rico."
Ratih scratched his head that did not itch, what Rico said earlier made him unable to talk, how he had to explain to Rico, to say it could be, but doing it is not an easy matter.
"Later Grandma will talk to your father, now go to sleep, it's night."
"Yes, grandma,"
Ratih walked out of Rico's room in confusion.
Ratih walked to Rohan's room, he saw Rohan was still not asleep,.
"Rohan, Mama wants to talk."
"What's the matter ma?"
"The problem is your son Rico."
"What's wrong with Rico ma, lately Rico makes a lot of trouble" said Rohan indifferently
"Rico's a smart kid, you should be proud of him."
"But his request was unreasonable."
"No sense how Rohan is?"
"Like this morning, he said he wanted to meet Anita, while we don't know who that woman is."
"Have you found out about Anita?" ask Ratih.
"Not ma, yet,"
"You're gonna find out soon."
"Why is mom so enthusiastic?"
"This is related to Rico, his desire so that Anita becomes his mother you just think about where it goes again."
"And one more thing, you don't want Rico to be disappointed,"
"This is wrong ma, how this child has the wrong thoughts" Rohan said furiously as he clenched his hands together.
"Rico isn't wrong, Johan, your son is hungry for a mother's affection, even though she loves him but there is a difference in the affection of his mother and grandmother, and it seems Rico is getting on Anita.
Rohan shook his head.
"This can't happen." Rohan said.
" You don't be stubborn Rohan, Don't be selfish, Rico's future thoughts, you know you still haven't accepted Linda's departure, but until when? Open your heart now, you don't want your grandchildren to suffer, just enough you to suffer,!" ratih said a little loudly and left Rohan's room.
After the departure of his mother Rohan is stunned to remember Linda his wife, a wife he loved so much and had to be taken away from him without him being able to defend.
"Linda, how is this, what should I do, I don't want to betray our love, I love you" Rohan said with teary eyes .
No one knows the pain of Rohan's heart, since his wife left him, and since Linda's departure he has closed himself off and no one knows what he is but his mother.
Several times her mother asked to find a replacement for Linda because of her pity with her granddaughter, but never in the press.
Rico is now faced with a strange choice between his condition with his son, one of which must be sacrificed, whether he sacrificed Rico for his ego or sacrificed himself for Rico.,.Rohan was in a difficult choice, such as eating simalakama fruit.
Rohan squeezed his hair hard, why did this problem arise when he was already comfortable with his solitude.
Anger and annoyance mixed into one.
Until late at night.Rohan can not sleep, his mind is not out of concern.how many times Rohan tried to close his eyes but could not.
Until three in the morning Rohan was still not asleep until finally he decided to follow the advice of his mother,
"Linda, I'm sorry I don't know what else to do "
he said, rubbing his face with both hands.
